I want you to meet my friend and fellow abortion abolitionist, 11-year-old Zoe Griffin. In a world when grown adults ignore, deny or just don’t care about the abortion holocaust that has claimed over 55 Million of Zoe’s generation, she is willing to take a stand no matter what people think. Zoe joined her mother and friends to lay thousands of roses outside the site of the democratic convention and pray for the babies, the politicians and this generation.
While Zoe was praying, pro-abortion activists who claim to stand up for women began to belittle and scream at Zoe for her stand for life. What is so sad is that one of the women who did this to Zoe, Sunsara Taylor, is a well know anti-porn activist who claims to be against the degradation of women. I guess just not 11-year-olds who believe that women should not be dehumanized by the abortion industry. Sunsara Taylor’s Blog http://sunsara.blogspot.com
I could write a lot about this and how much I am sickened by what happened, but I wanted to let Zoe tell you in her own words how what happened and why she will never quit being a Stand True Activist. Praise God for young women like Zoe, she is why this is the generation who will abolish abortion.
Here is Zoe’s account:
“Hi, I’m Zoe. Something happened Friday night that a friend wanted me to blog about. I don’t have Facebook or Twitter or anything like that so I’m borrowing my mom’s page for now.
“What happened was a pro-life rally. We had showed up when only 4 people were there. I guess we were supposed to get there early. As more and more people came, a car arrived. A woman came out and opened the trunk. There were 3,300 carnations in the back of that car. We started to unload and unwrap the flowers. Lily, Bella, and I started to write pro-life statements with chalk on the sidewalks when some pro-abortionists came.
They were holding signs and chanting: “A baby’s not a baby till it comes out, that’s what birthdays are all about!” They were blowing whistles and jumping around acting like 5-year-old children. I was so sad that these people were so blinded I started crying. Then we started laying down the flowers all across the sidewalk. When we finished, the line of carnations was probably a mile long. A pro-life woman let me hold a crucifix that she had. I started clutching it close to my heart. My knees were shaking, so were my hands.
“The pro-abortionists turned to us and started pointing at different people, saying, “You’re a person! You’re a person! Fetuses are not!” Then the woman saw me crying and said,” You are making this girl cry with your bull____”. I couldn’t stand any more of those lies. They pushed it too far. In the highest-pitched voice I have ever spoken in, I screamed, “THEY ARE NOT THE ONES MAKING ME CRY! YOU ARE! WITH YOUR DARK HEARTS, YOUR DARK MINDS TURNED AGAINST GOD!” My mom ran over to me, put her hand on my shoulder, and calmed me down. Then she went up to them and said, “HOW DARE YOU ATTACK A CHILD LIKE THAT!” While she was yelling, pro-lifers came over to me to calm me down. My whole body was shaking. Our friend, Mrs. McKinney, took me, Jack, and Bella to a CVS that was nearby. We got water and chips and went back. I sat down on a bench when a man from the Charlotte Observer came over to me and started interviewing me. Once he was done, a man came over and gave us ice cream. While I was eating, the pro-abortionists left. Then we started to clean up.
“On the way home I felt sorry that I yelled at those people. I told my mom, and she said, “Do you know why you feel that way? It’s because you have a heart. You have a conscience, and you know what’s right and what’s wrong. Those people attacked you like that because they don’t have a heart.”
I will never, ever forget what happened last night. I had a dream that night that they all converted to pro-life activists. I hope that dream becomes a reality.”
Right on. Thank you.
Janet of "Dykes R US' Homeland Security has determined the child is a potential domestic terrorist and the Southern Poverty Law (Paranoid) Center backs Janet up saying, " this child and 4 other people plan on overthrowing the government... and WILL be WATCHED..."
The MSM is buying it all - as they do when such words drop from the mouths of liberals.... What a world.
(this child and four others couldn't 'overthrow' a neighborhood in Paducah - not trying to step on paranoid liberal fantasies or anything...)
Someone who can reach O’Reilly should send this story in.
The 11 year old should be interviewed.
Was there any lamestream media coverage. If so, send links.
“A nation that kills its own children is a nation without hope.” John Paul II
They are safer than children in the womb!!
And a child shall lead them ...................
Of course they are, much safer.
But that’s a pretty low bar to use.
I know wouldn’t take my grandchildren to such a location for a demonstration.
From a legal perspective, somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I remember litigation on this was either begun or threatened with the Westboro protesters. My recollection is the family members were determined to be within their rights to bring their children to a First Amendment protest. If that was legal and not child abuse, I think it's obvious that the parents here were within their rights.
From a moral perspective, I think we need to respect parental rights in this matter, as well as parental discernment of what their children can handle.
I can see Balding Eagle's point. I do not want my 13-year-old daughter at a protest like this. She's too naive and I do not believe she could handle this.
On the other hand, children react to things differently. At that age, I was already a pretty fiery conservative Republican. I was not a Christian at the time and didn't have a strong position on abortion, but I would have had zero problem with going to a secular conservative protest against some sort of liberal outrage, and would have welcomed the opportunity for a verbal confrontation.
We need to leave those kinds of decisions to the parents involved. They know their children best.
That wasn't his point; if he stated that he wouldn't bring his children of similar age to a similar event, no one would have objected to that comment.
